It Just Doubled in Size | ALDER RUN Pt. 2 | RC TOPiA PARK | RC ADVENTURES

150 feet of ALDER RUN… completed. Well… completed for now. 😉 Today my son Maurice and I spent the day out here in the woods at RCtopia continuing the dream. He’s 12, so like most boys his age, he jumped in for a few moments helping Dad here and there before disappearing back into kid-world 😂 — but those moments matter to me more than he probably realizes. What started as scattered alder trees in a wet Nova Scotia swamp has now become an elevated RC crawler skybridge with climbs, drops, off-camber sections, suspension-style crossings, and a central tower wrapped around a living tree. Chainsaws, nail guns, ropes, ladders, cuts, blisters, engineering problems, aching joints… and a vision that kept growing faster than my body could comfortably keep up with. I definitely worked my arthritis into a tizzy on this build… but honestly? If this thing creates smiles, memories, laughter, and brings people together for even a little while, then every sore muscle was worth it. That’s the strange magic of RC. Tiny trucks… massive connection. This weekend, if the weather cooperates, I’m opening RCtopia to a few local folks for the first time so they can come run the ALDER RUN themselves. To some people this is just sticks in the woods. To others, it’s an adventure course unlike anything they’ve ever seen before. And that means something to me. I know these structures won’t last forever. Alder lives fast and breaks down eventually, especially in wet environments like this. Last year was drought. This year has been wet and alive again. So maybe this whole thing is temporary art in the swamp… a giant wooden rollercoaster for RC trucks built during one small chapter of life. And maybe that’s exactly what makes it special. If you use Facebook and ever want to inquire about visiting RCtopia one day while the ALDER RUN still stands, you can contact me here: Aaron Bidochka on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abidochka/ Thanks for being part of this wild journey after all these years. 18 years on YouTube… and somehow we’re still building dreams in the woods.
